The horrifying images of the Chechen war

Bodies are shattered on the floor,
corpses are lying by the door.
Mothers are screaming loud and clear,
”Allah, help me find my missing child down here!”

Countless families are torn apart,
these cold images have broken many hearts,
Brothers and sisters are separated right at birth,
lost in this distant world called Earth.

Can no words explain the aching pain,
Of watching your loved ones pass away in vain.
And can no words explain the excruciating heartbreak,
Of a mother holding her child, who’s no longer awake.

Our brothers are ready to sacrifice their souls,
to achieve this life's destined goals.
And throughout all these tragic years,
our land has shed infinite tears.

…And yet they still strive to abolish our nation,
killing one by one of Allah’s finest creation.
Trying hard to send our younger generation astray,
yet knowing they can NEVER take our pride away!
